   Using a registry cleaner can clean up your computer and then make your computer faster,Why?the reason is that there may be some registry errors and remnant,corrupt files and temp files in your computer to cause "computer slow".
   Every time you install and uninstall software on your computer and surfing online you create junk in the computer registry.over time, the registry can grow to enormous proportions, especially if the various programs you’ve installed do not do a good job of deleting and/or updating it’s Registry entries.You need to scan and clean your computer with registry cleaner to make it fast.Good Registry Cleaner will improve your computer and Internet performance dramatically!

   Scan for spyware and viruses.

   Reduce the number of items on your startup list.

   Uninstall all unwanted programs and remove junk from the drive.
   Use CCleaner or DiskCleanup to clear out the temporary files, internet cache, recycle bin etc.

   If you HDD is overloaded and cluttered with fragments, everything including startup will slow down. Fragmentation especially when its been ignored for a long time, causes performance deterioration by increasing file access time and drive activity. There are good automatic defragmenters like Diskeeper which you can set to run in the background as you go about using the PC. Its also said to defrag even if you have less than 15% free space.

   How much RAM do you have? Atleast 1 GB is good if you have a lot of programs running.

   It would be a good idea to sanitize your PC by doing these cleanup tricks (and getting the associated free programs).

   I use all of these when helping friends with problems.

   1) The Java Runtime Environment can cause issues, you should use a free program I use myself called JavaRa to get the latest JRE and remove all older versions. This will ensure that the security of your computer is enhanced and extra space on your hard disk is created. Find more information here: http://raproducts.org/javara.html and the download link on this page: http://raproducts.org/ ( Currently, JavaRa supports Windows Vista without UAC so if you are using Vista and are not comfortable temporarely disabling it, don’t use JavaRa )

   2) Flush every single possible accumulated junk (cookies, cache and what nots) in ALL your browsers. As you browse the web, browsers stores information about the websites you visit. You should delete that information from time to time (It’s never done in vain).

   Here are methods for the two most popular browsers (IE 7 and Firefox 3):

   Method One (now): In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then Delete Browsing History and in the box, click the Delete all button (bottom left) and Yes.

   In Firefox, go to tools, clear private data, make sure all boxes are checked and then click on the clear private data now button.

   Method Two (in the future – about every two weeks for normal use of the internet – every week for heavy use):

   In Internet Explorer, click the Tools menu, then click Delete Browsing History and in the box that opens, do the following steps (in order)
   1) click the button near Temporary Internet Files, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
   2) click the button near History, click Yes and wait for the box that opens to close.
   Finally, click the close button (bottom right) to finish.

   In Firefox, Go to tools, clear private data and uncheck all except Browsing History, Cache and Authenticated Sessions boxes and then click on the clear private data now button.

   Note: You should close your browser ( This is good for Internet Explorer and Firefox ) when you’re done to clear cookies that are still in memory from your current browsing session.

   For older versions of the same programs or for other browsers, check their help files for guidance on doing the cleanup.

   3) Install a free cleaner called Glary Utilities ( http://www.glaryutilities.com/gu.html ) to remove junk files or remnants of installs (there is always some).

   And as a final touch, defragment your drive with your choice of defragmenter (built-in, freeware or open source).

   ( A word of caution, with programs this powerful, be sure to read all instructions and help files twice so that you can fix it once ! )

   So here we have it, I hope this will help guide you to a better working faster machine

   Ciao

   Along with using Ad Aware, use Spy Bot Search & Destroy.

   add more ram, do a disk defragmentation, or delete most of the files in your startup folder.

   You might have a lot of spyware if your on the computer a lot. Ad Aware works great. Click here: http://www.adware-2009.com/v2/

   try downloading ccleaner, it gets rid of all the junk (registry errors, cookies, temporary internet files, etc) from your computer, which makes it faster. or you can try defragging your computer. scan your computer for a virus. if all else fails, you can buy RAM for your computer. its pretty cheap.

    uninstall programs you don’t use and stop having non-crucial programs and process from starting at boot up, add more RAM on the computer, and/or use a linux OS.
